Obama’s Terrorist Friends
Posted on February 23, 2008
Barack Obama has been running his campaign in the style of a revolutionary. Just how radical and liberal Obama is has been well hidden by the campaign. If you haven’t heard about his friendship with the leaders of the radical group, the Weather Underground, you can thank the media. Just how radically left this man is can be seen in what company he keeps.
In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
…“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,†said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.â€
Obama and Palmer “were both there,†he said.
Obama’s connections to Ayers and Dorhn have been noted in some fleeting news coverage in the past. But the visit by Obama to their home — part of a campaign courtship — reflects more extensive interaction than has been previously reported.
Ayers and Dorhn are extremist radicals from the 1960’s anti-war terrorist group the Weather Underground, and they are unrepentant in the bombings they were a part of. They disappeared in 1970 after a bomb designed to kill army officers in New Jersey accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse. They turned themselves over to authorities in 1980. While the Weather Underground claimed 25 bombings, these characters were never prosecuted. Charges were dropped due to improper FBI surviellance.
Even today they remain proud of their violent past.
“I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough,†Ayers told the New York Times in 2001.
Obama does some nice double talk and condemns the actions of the Weather Underground, however he remains good friends with two of them that remain unrepentant for their actions. They helped launch his political career.
Via Right Wing Nut House: There were other “encounters†with Ayers over the years, including the fact that both men served on a far left foundation as board members:
Wondering whether the three may have crossed paths is not speculation. It is a fact that they have. Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama have appeared together at a number of gatherings and academic events.
In November 1997, Ayers and Obama participated in a panel at the University of Chicago entitled Should a child ever be called a “super predator?†to debate “the merits of the juvenile justice systemâ€.
In April 2002, Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, then an Illinois State Senator, participated together at a conference entitled “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?†sponsored by The Center for Public Intellectuals and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Ayers and Obama were two of the six members of the “Intellectuals in Times of Crisis†panel.
Ayers, “who in the 1960s was a member of the terrorist group Weatherman and a wanted fugitive for over a decade as a result of the group’s bombing campaign,†is currently the Board Chairman of the Woods Fund of Chicago and Obama is a former Board member.
Lefty blogger Taylor Marsh:
This is the vein in the Democratic party I will never understand, cannot accept on any level. What is it about some people who just don’t get the problems with our Democratic nominee being friendly, even taking a contribution (however small), as well as having a meeting as recently as 1995 with an unrepentant domestic terrorist like William Ayers? It reveals a lack of seriousness about the issue of terrorism and the dangerously immature judgment of anyone who is going to associate with a man, at the very least, that Republicans will use to beat us over the head with, having the bonus of hitting a spot the public loves to drink up, which is that our party is not serious about the dangers we face in this world.
Rick Moran asks the ultimate question:
Will the media expose Obama? Will they criticize Senator McCain if he tries to paint Obama as a radical? Will they dig deep into Obama’s associations and associates to discover the truth?
Update: Hillary pushed the story, but her own husband pardoned a member of the same terrorist group. Wow!

It is amazing the NYT will publish stories about McCain (or any Republican) and their associations with lobbyists but not report Obama’s ties to terrorists.
Barack Hussein Obama’s Terrorist Buddies…
You may remember William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Shortly after 9/11, if I’m remembering right, the NYT did a puff piece about these former Weather Underground terrorists — bomb-planters — who were now university professors (shocker, huh) and utt…

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT? PUHULEESE , LET’S GET SERIOUS! THANK GOODNESS THE PRESS PRINTED SOMETHING REVEALING THE TRUE SENTIMENTS OF THIS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (DEMOCRAT), STILL, ALL WERE FAR TOO KIND…
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, “UNPATRIOTIC”‘ ,THEY WROTE, [ON YAHOO AND ELSEWHERE (2/23/08)]. THIS IS, UNDENIABLY, TOO FAVORABLE A EUPHEMISM FOR ONE RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN OUR LAND! APPARENTLY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHO PUT FORTH THE CRITICISM, ARE SUGAR-COATING THEIR WORDS ABOUT HIM,AS WELL. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ELECTION YEAR, NOT A FRIENDLYSOCCER GAME!
I FOR ONE, WILL NOT BE SILENCED OR SUBDUED BY HIS CURRENT FANFARE.
THE NERVE OF HIM AND HIS WIFE! SHE BLATANTLY DOCUMENTED THAT SHE’S NEVER BEEN PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN IN HER ADULT LIFE , ??? (UNTIL NOW, WHEN LEFTIST-GURU HUSBAND RUNS , NOT FOR MAYOR, BUT FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENCY OF OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?)
WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS, ANYWAY?… TO REFUSE TO WEAR THE AMERICAN FLAG PIN ON HIS LAPEL !… OR EVEN PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART DURING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM? THIS IS NOT MERELY “UNPATRIOTIC” WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING FOR THIS POSITION OF THE HIGHEST MAGNITUDE! THIS IS A DISGRACE. SHAME ON HIM FOR REFUSING TO DO THESE, THE VERY SIMPLEST TOKENS OF NATIONAL RESPECT.
BY HIS BOLD REFUSAL TO HONOR THESE SACRED AMERICAN TRADITIONS, THIS OBAMA UNDERMINES ALL THAT WE STAND FOR, ALL THAT MANY FIGHT & DIE FOR, EVEN AS I WRITE THIS !
WE ALL SHOULD DISMISS HIM, READILY, FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS TO US.
IS THIS WHAT MIGHT RULE OVER OUR BLESSED COUNTRY, BE COMMANDER AND CHIEF TO OUR EVER-COURAGEOUS ARMED FORCES? HEAVEN HELP US ! WE HAD BETTER NOT ALLOW HIM TO ATTAIN THIS POST, MY FRIENDS, THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS,REVERED OF ALL POSITIONS, EVER BESTOWED ON ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL:THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!!!!
WE PATRIOTIC AMERICANS, SAY TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA: “AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT” !
BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS STATED IN AN INTERVIEW THAT, IF ELECTED, HE INTENDS TO “PARTNER WITH IRAQ “; (AS WELL AS SHUN OUR ALLIES). THAT WOULD BE A “CHANGE”,ALRIGHT. IN ANOTHER INTERVIEW HE SLURRED LACKADAISICALLY: THEY (THE PEOPLE) MAY ELECT SOMEONE ELSE “TO RUN THIS “THING” ” ( REFERRING TO”AMERICA” AS “THIS “thing”). INCREDIBLE ! BUT, WHAT IS EVEN MORE SHOCKING,
IS THAT : NOBODY, NOBODY: NOT THE PRESS, NOR THE POLITICAL PARTIES, EVEN CALLED HIM ON THESE CRITICAL REMARKS!
THIS OVERLY- PRIVILEGED AMERICAN MALE, HAS BEHAVED WITHOUT HONOR. PEOPLE FROM EVERYWHERE,EVERYWHERE,ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO PLACE THEIR HANDS OVER THEIR HEARTS AND HOLD OUR FLAGS HIGH FOR AMERICA, BUT HE OVERTLY REFRAINS??? EXCUSE ME, SIR…. EVEN OUR WORST ADVERSARIES HAVE HONORED OUR AMERICAN TRADITIONS WHEN THEY VISIT OUR HOME OF THE FREE !!! I AM TIRED OF THIS COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZING ATTITUDE AND CARELESS EMBRACE OF THOSE WHO WOULD BLINDLY WELCOME THIS BRAND OF “CHANGE” . THIS IS NO IDLE CHATTER, NOR IS IT TALK SHOW RHETORIC,THAT WE PUT FORTH.
RECENT RESEARCH IN AIM (ACCURACY IN MEDIA.COM) REVEALS VERBATIM THIS “DEMOCRATIC” CANDIDATE’S COMMUNISTIC ENTANGLEMENTS, IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT HIS MENTOR/TEACHER WAS A WELL-KNOWN STAUNCH COMMUNIST (FORMERLY NAMED BY HIM AS “FRANK”) :
Obama?s Communist Mentor
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 18, 2008
In his books, Obama admits attending “socialist conferences” and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a “hard-core academic Marxist,” which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.
However, through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just “Frank.”
LIBERAL? POSING AS “DEMOCRATS”, AND THEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? AS I WRITE THIS, HE IS BEING PAID THE USUAL HEFTY SENATOR’S SALARY BY ALL OF US (AMERICANS, ALL) TO NOT SHOW UP REGULARLY AT HIS SENATOR’S JOB. RATHER ,IN ACTUALITY,WE ARE PAYING HIM SO HE CAN PARADE AROUND THE COUNTRY;RUN HIS HUMOR-BASED RIDICULE CAMPAIGN, AND DIMINISH OUR AMERICA, BY HIS OWN IMMATURE ACTIONS!
SO, IF HE SEEMS OVERTLY SILLY & OPTIMISTIC, WELL, WE HAVE GIVEN HIM PLENTY OF REASONS TO GRIN (IT APPEARS AS IF HE IS LAUGHING AT US … YOU GULLIBLE, INFINITELY TOLERANT AMERICANS,YOU)…
I SAY, C’MON., THIS IS THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND, FELLOW CITIZENS !
WE ARE A PROUDEST OF DEMOCRACIES, AND WE WOULD DO WELL TO PRESERVE THIS PRIVILEGE BESTOWED UPON US. AS HE WELL KNOWS, WE EVEN HAVE A COMMUNIST PARTY, THAT MAY BETTER ACCOMMODATE HIS “PUBLIC- DENIAL-OF–AMERICA”- CAMPAIGN STYLE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN, SIR, AT LEAST RUN UNDER THE CORRECT TICKET, !
WELL,FOLKS,IT IS A LITTLE LATE IN THE DAY OF THIS ELECTION, BUT NOT TOO LATE. IF ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT IN A PRESIDENT DOESN’T SCARE THE HECK OUT OF YOU, PERHAPS THIS WILL: I WAS DOING A REPORT WITH MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, ON THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND FOUND ON THIS DISTURBING PIECE OF INFO ON WIKIPEDIA (FREE INTERNET ENCYCLOPEDIA ITEM 20)
OBAMA
!Barack Obama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Obama)
.[20] He wrote that he used alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine during his teenage years to “push questions of who I was out of my mind”.[
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM ILLEGAL DRUGS,TO RESPECT THEMSELVES, RESPECT AMERICA? : “GET STONED OUT OF YOUR MIND, HONEY, THEN SOME DAY YOU MIGHT RUN FOR PRESIDENT TOO”, DARLING.
IF WE ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN AND HIS PROPOSED “CHANGE” ,WE SURELY WILL GET MORE “CHANGE” THAN WE EVER BARGAINED FOR! IF WE CARE ABOUT AMERICA, AND WE DO, WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHAT IS HIS REAL AGENDA? DESPITE ALL HIS HOOPLA AND REDUNDANT VERBIAGE,I FOR ONE, HAVE NEVER HEARD HIM CLARIFY IT SUFFICIENTLY.
PERHAPS WE OUGHT TO HOLD FAST TO THE AGES OF WISDOM ,WHICH KNOWS,ALL TOO WELL, THAT ACTIONS WILL ALWAYS ,ALWAYS, “SPEAK” LOUDER THAN WORDS.
These are the same questions I have asked myself. Why doesn’t the media expose this man for what he is???
Why are they so eager to attack Hillary and Bill, but not Obama or his wife?
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT OBOMAS CREW PLANTED THAT “SOMALIA GARB” PIC ON THE MEDIA TO GET SYMPATHY FROM HIS “FANS”…TRYING TO BLAME IT ON THE CLINTONS’ CAMPAIGN.
HIS POOR ME “ACT” DIDN’T CONVICE ME, THOUGH. THE MAN IS AN ACTOR.
I GUESS IF WE WANT REAL NEWS NOWADAYS,WE NEED TO
LOOK ELSEWHERE TO SOURCES WE TRUST…(CERTAINLY NOT THE TED KENNEDY’S, OR EVEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY). HOW COULD THEY LET THIS HAPPEN TO HILLARY?
EVENT..#2 BARACK’S LYING AND RENOUNCING THE U.S.
MILITARY “SCROUNGING FOR WEAPONS” ECT ,YOU KNOW…. OBAMA’S FAKE, IDIOTIC STORY, THAT NO ONE QUESTIONED HIM ON (AGAIN!!!). THIS SHOULD BE A FRONT-PAGER. RIGHT?
INSTEAD OF MC CAIN “HERESAY” AFFAIR .(NY times).BIG FRONTPAGER NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WITHOUT SOURCES…(A BIG “NO-NO” IN JOURNALISM LAND). SHAME ON THE NY TIMES, TOO.
#3 ITEM: OBAMA HE HAS THE “BEST PROTECTION EVER AGAINST BEING HARMED”. NOBODY ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT. I DON’T THINK HE MEANT GOD. [THIS SAID WHEN “CONCERNS” ABOUT HIS SAFETY AROSE(COMPARING HIM TO JFK , MLK AND BOBBY—….INSULT TO THEM) …
SOME SAY OBAMA’S THE MESSIAH, SOME SAY ANTI-CHRIST.
I SAY WE HAVE ENOUGH ON HIM (TO BURY HIM) ALREADY…BUT, NOBODY WANTS TO USE IT!
AS FOR MY PART, I’M FOR THE “OTHER”
HOPE ARKANSAS CANDIDATE: MIKE HUKCABEE.
THIS ELECTION SMELLS OF STINK !!!
Mainstream Media Ignore FARC’s Reference To Barack Obama…
If you doubted that terrorists “heart” Obama, think again: Captured FARC documents name Obama … Dead terrorist Raul Reyes had information that FARC was meeting “gringos” about Obama. … The computers captured this past weekend by Colombian soldi…
